The Nun 2 left me none too pleased. A corny opener, but I’ll never be able to make that joke again so let’s savor it.
Once again a demon entity possesses someone in order to get a thing it needs to break into the physical world, and yet at the same time it is capable of affecting the physical world for things like murder regardless of having a meat puppet do things for it because it doesn’t need the magical thing it needs to do stuff with, thereby having it both ways at all times while withholding some basic limitation by which to hang a conducive or interesting plot.
So once again we get a cookie-cutter, snooze-inducing story with minimal character development pocked by jump-scare set-pieces that admittedly are sometimes fresh but obnoxious all the same because they’re still fucking jump-scares. Mostly they lead to more laughter than scares, but maybe that’s a point in the movie’s favor…
So the heroes have to get a magical thing to stop the demon and then they do in banal Harry Potter fashion, bringing to mind the eternal wisdom of Peter Jackson in not relying heavily upon magic to carry the dramatic fire in Lord of the Rings, because magic in storytelling is more often than not too simplistic and meaningless and in this case lowers the dramatic majesty of Christianity to the triviality of paganistic wizardry.
